Default Newbie vba - How do I reference cells in another workbook

Data is transferred from another program and each transfer opens a new
workbook in Excel. I have a workbook (Main) that processes the data. I have
the workbook name in cell B4 say Book5 and part of the macro looks like this

Dim wbook

Range("b4").Select
wbook = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value
Workbooks(wbook).Activate

'Processes some data

Workbooks("Main").Activate
Range("a7").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Value = "=max([book5]sheet1!$b:$b)"

My question is how do I write the last line using the variable wbook
instead of the workbook name book5

Thanks

Ian
